On this day, Crazy Horse, one of the greatest Native American Indian warriors, led his men in a final desperate battle against U.S Cavalry. Seriously outnumbered and outgunned, he and his warriors bought the women and children of the tribe enough time to escape the attack, using cover from a winter snow blizzard. Realising that his followers would be hunted down and mercilessly killed, Crazy Horse led his tribe to the Red Cloud Indian Reservation a month later to peacefully surrender.
